WOW presents the “WOW Student Program 2025—Ignite Your Creativity,” a program designed for aspiring student creators. In an era where diversity and innovation converge, this program represents our commitment to discovering and nurturing new forms of talent and creativity. By providing guidance on creating expressions that captivate an audience, alongside practical insights for the professional world, WOW aims to elevate the unique creativity, expressive power, and breakthrough capability within each student. Last year, the program drew an overwhelming number of applications, far exceeding our capacity. The 19 students selected for the program poured their passion into the challenge of creating their work. Watching the students inspire one another, broaden their perspectives, and refine their expressive abilities was incredibly stimulating for us at WOW. This year, the program is sponsored by CGWORLD, a publication that explores the intersection of creativity and technology, and its operator, Born Digital, Inc. This collaboration will connect the vibrant sensibilities of our students with the practical realities of the business world and society. Through this initiative, we aim to nurture creators who enrich society and to foster a diverse and creative synergy. Program Overview We invite students to submit their own project proposals based on a creative theme set by WOW. Successful candidates will receive direct guidance on how to improve their work from WOW's creative team, which handles a wide range of visual works both domestically and internationally, with the goal of completing the work in six weeks. As a new initiative, the works will be exhibited in a gallery space. Furthermore, the creator of the winning project will be given the opportunity to present their work at the “CGWORLD 2025 CREATIVE CONFERENCE,” Japan's largest conference for the CG industry. Theme This year's creative theme is to create pieces that allow viewers to experience "unseen time." Through multifaceted interpretations of the theme, we aim to inspire diverse forms of creativity, including videos, installations, interactive experiences, UI/UX design, and product design.
